[A crippled treacherous minister hated by everyone x a village girl loved by all]
Chen Chuntao was accompanying her younger brother on the road to the imperial examinations when, by chance, she picked up a man.
A handsome man, no less.
Handsome men usually had hard lives. Seeing that his leg was broken, Chen Chuntao decided to take him in.
The handsome man treated her well along the way, teaching her to read and practicing martial arts with her.
Chen Chuntao felt she had found a treasure.
Before long, they reached the capital. After Chen Chuntao was confusedly taken prisoner in the Grand Preceptor's residence, she thought, "This is bad!"
How could the handsome man she'd taken in be Grand Preceptor Li, the most powerful man in the court?
--
Li Wenyu had held power over the court for years. The thing he heard most often was that he should go to hell.
Until the day he fled like a stray dog, hiding wherever he could. Chen Chuntao looked at him with bright, clear eyes and a smile.
"You're a good man, young master. Good men shouldn't die."
Chen Chuntao was a good person too. She was kind to everyone.
Looking into her eyes, Li Wenyu thought,
"I can't let a good person like her get away."
A little note before reading:
1. The male lead really has a broken leg. It can't be cured, so don't hope that it will be.
2. This story is set in a fictional world, but the author drew on some history from the Ming dynasty. Some of the male lead's reforms are based on Zhang Juzheng.
3. Updates every other day.
